Print Window 4.0 (Mac OS X)
I couldn't get PW to do anything at all. A quick trip to the developer's FAQ solved it (turn off the preference to remember Page Setup settings temporarily.) They're working on fixing it for the next release. I'm just glad to be able to print file listings, which has been missing ever since OS 9. [alert admin]

HotApp 1.9.2u (Mac OS X)
I wrote the developer, and got this reply: "we're still here... but we're busy doing a lot of consulting work and so spend less time updating the site... HotApp is compatible with 10.5 :-)" [alert admin]

HotApp 1.9.2u (Mac OS X)
Trufsoft seems to have gone away...say it ain't so!
I just checked trufsoft.com to see if there's an update for HotApp. While the site is still there, a lot of the links go nowhere and the forums appear to be inoperative, and the last post was January 2007. Please, somebody, tell me I'm wrong! Is there any other app out there that does what HotApp does, without all the fuss of QuicKeys, and the unsatisfactoriness of the Finder's built-in function key support? [alert admin]

HotApp 1.9.2u (Mac OS X)
I've use HotApp for years and find it indispensable; I'm glad Trufsoft has avoided QuickKeys-like bloat. I second the motion to be able to sort on the columns in the HotApp pane. I do find that every time I upgrade to a different hard drive I have to re-apply most or all hotkeys, which is not a big deal. And I would appreciate more information on Dynamic Paste; I want to create my own. It looks like you should be able to, but I can't figure it out. Gues I'll have to write to TrufSoft--they have a user forum but there's not much activity. [alert admin]

DriveGauge 3.2 (Mac OS X)
As a Mac consultant, I see way too many computers (especially laptops) whose hard drives are maxed out with music and pictures, sometimes causing data loss. Till Apple builds something into the operating system to warn users about low storage levels, this is a good choice. I've had it on an iMac G5 running Tiger for a few months now with no ill effects and am planning to make the optional $5 donation. I do not understand why there are no other recent feedback posts here. The complaints all apply to older versions of DriveGauge. As to features, personally I don't care about all the cosmetic tweaks provided--just a basic visual gauge is all I need so I stuck with the default icon and settings. [alert admin]

Guest PC 1.4 (Mac OS X)
I have a client who needs Skype's group messaging, which is not supported in the Mac version (promised sometime in the future, though.) Can anybody tell me if Guest PC works well with the Windows 1.2 version of Skype? I sure wish there was an evaluation version of Guest PC available! [alert admin]

You're trying to use it on an Intel Mac, but it doesn't list Intel Macs as being supported.

Just figured out Dynamic Paste answer
To add your own Dynamic Paste item: first click the Add button which will duplicate the last item in the list. Then edit it by double-clicking and typing your desired entry. After you hit Enter or Return, HotApp will create the example field on its own.

Problems with the right side of the menubar can sometimes be fixed by deleting a pref file. It's in [your home]/Library/Preferences and the file to delete is com.apple.systemuiserver.plist.

WHy bother? Prevent unwanted disk write
Here's a good reason to Why Bother: If you want to plug in a Firewire drive to, say, run Data Rescue to look for accidentally deleted files, you need to prevent indexing BEFORE the drive is available in the privacy tab of Spotlight. If you want to recover files, you don't want anything written to the drive, because the lost files might get overwritten. Or maybe you just don't want Spotlight to index a drive that's…
